Cuomo says he's found more than 100 former customers and is looking for thousands more who are owed part of the settlement covering services that were never provided.

Cuomo says even companies that close because of the tough economy have obligations to their customers.

The claims by customers range from $49 to $1,200. Individual compensation will depend on how many eligible customers apply. Cuomo says the company closed its New York centers and entered bankruptcy court soon after.
